Here we go again

I believe that Roosevelt has a little bit of Italian blood (tiny bit), but was Irish mostly. Guiliani is all Italian and the fact that he doesnt have money plays a roll as well.

The war against Russia will be such that it cannot be conducted in a knightly fashion. This struggle is one of ideologies and racial differences and will have to be conducted with unprecedented, unmerciful and unrelenting harshness. -Adolf Hitler

PzJgr, around here we call them the Dixie Chickens ;-D Also, I feel all too strongly that Bush will screw up that compromise with Uncle Vlad.

What really stews me up is that here we go and invade and then find out that the info was not true. Ooops. we made a mistake, but we will still attack and carry on having our troops killed. Now, we are talking about using Korea as a model for occupying Iraq???? As a Texan I believe in doing the right thing for the right reason. I really cannot stand our image being dragged into the sewer like this. Grrrrrrrrr

Bro--you got that right too ;-)) Were in now too long and can't just cut, slash and run -- unfortunately. >-(

I'm just thinking because of Russia's instability, in case of a civil war, these missiles could rather become a propaganda tool, to scare potential enemies.. no sense fighting when you know your gonna lose and increase casualties. I really doubt Russia would try to pull a fast one on Western Europe.

Roosevelt is a Dutch name. The place is in Holland near Amsterdam. He was proud of his Dutch heritage.

I was not aware of this, thanks for the correction!

What instability are you talking about?

I doubt that Putin's intension's consist of a military showdown with Western Europe.

It is not Russia the world should be worried about, afterall 1 war in the last 60 years isnt too bad.

Thanks for the genalogy. There are many Dutch ancestors there, no doubt, especially next to other Dutch names and the "Van" prefix. Some English names too. The Delano names deserves more information though. It sounds quite Italian but it's an old name that was present In Colonial America way before the Italian immigration.

I used to research genealogy and had managed to carry all of my lines back to the 1700s, some to the early 1500s.

According to my book American Surnames, Elsdon Smith, Chilton Book Co., 1969, Delano is French and refers to "the dweller in or near a marsh, although some came from the village of Delanoe "of the wet land", a town in France." Apparently there is no Italian in FDR.

I knew there was something with that name. If it's French, then it would probably be Huguenot (Protestants) The Huguenots took refuge in the Low countries to flee persecution from Louis XIV. They were offered opportunities by the Doutch who suggested they immigrate to New Amsterdam (NewYork) Many of them accepted and settled in places such as New Rochelle . The most famous of these guys was probably Peter Minuit who bought the Island of Manhattan for the Dutch from the Indians for the equivalent of 26$!
Delano = Delanoy or Delanoe (the name of the Mayor of Paris by the way)

With broken heart and bowed in sadness, but not in shame, I report to your Excellency that today I must arrange terms for the surrender of the fortified islands of Manila Bay… With profound regret and the continued pride in my gallant troops I go to meet the Japanese commander. Good-Bye, Mr. President. - Gen. Wainwright, May 5, 1942

PzJgr, I respectfully disagree with you but since this is not a current events forum and probably all we will do is get each other's blood pressure up, let's not start a donnybrook. I don't want a nasty-gram from Otto. uh er, not that he would send one, though.
